    First impressions & comparisons: Morihei Hishiboshi 500, 1000, 4000

    I had not previously used such a low grit as Kuromaku 120, so I did not know what to expect. I have to admit I was at least a little bit surprised to find out how fast it was and how easy it was to work with. I can recommend it to anyone who needs to fix knives.

    I was repairing a chipped Kai Nakiri and wanted to test my new Kuromaku 120; typically I use my Naniwa workhorse to fix damaged knives ;)

    Those are splash and go. You just show them some water and break the surface with Atoma or any lower grit stone and you are ready to start.

    Very helpful review and I have to agree to almost all of your thoughts and findings. I have been using Morihei 1K,4K,6K, and 12K since March/2019, and after summer, these stones have been the most used stones at my shop. I do sharpen customer knives professionally. I have not received my 500...

    Morihei Suzu - series

    I got some feedback today from Japan. I learned that this new type of whetstones series has been under development for several decades. As we understand not a lot of the production methods are disclosed, but this is what I learned. During the development phase, while selecting high-quality raw...

    Morihei Suzu - series

    To my understanding, there is no more detail on the website. Morihei is not doing export business so I will try to get more details through the export company I use. I only have a simple sales brochure.

    Morihei Suzu - series

    I ran into new Morihei synthetic whetstones at Ambiente fair in Frankfurt and got my sample batch this week. I can say that new Morihei Suzu lineup is something you should check out ones available on your region. For two years I have kept Naniwa Professional 3000 as one of the best stones, but...

    Naniwa Multi Stone 1000/3000, made in Vietnam?

    I can confirm that Naniwa Multi Stone is from Vietnam and stone is packed in lightweight carton box. This was the case with my latest batch from Naniwa to Finland. Naniwa has now changed this, and all the new ones should come in a plastic box just like Shapton Kuromaku.

    Show your newest knife buy

    I had to get for myself a comparison to Miyabi SG2 Birchwood. Soon we can see how Tsubaya Tanaka Blue #1 Gyuto 240mm performs. I'm waiting to see how my sharpening skills work with this steel.

    These are the ones I bought...

    I'm from EU and love Japanese knives, but I have to admit that I still use Wüsthof Classic Icon chefs knife as my daily workhorse. So you got my vote for it. I love the size of it. It is heavy enough, stable and very easy to sharpen (half bolster). On the other hand my wife can't stand it...

    Hello from Helsinki

    Hi, I’m Data Visualization expert that got into knives a few years ago and turned into sharpening enthusiast after finding out the first stone I got was awful and thought there must be something else available ... and that was two years ago. Now I'm looking for new ideas and more knowledge...
